I've never had an "old" chicken. When do they get old? I know for me, dogs over 8 are old. Cats over 10 are old, chickens over ___ are old.
 
My older brother who has raised chickens for over 30 years says if you are talking eggs. They are OLD at 2.5 years and it's time to process and pressure cook them and use them in soup and stew.

That's about what I thought. Don't they start slowing down after the 2nd molt? Does pressure cooking make them more tender when they're old?
